Hi guys!
How are you doing?
Wait! Two chapters in a month?! Are you feeling good? What's going on?
I'm fine, I'm just scheduling something for June that has Valentine's Day here in my country. There are less than twenty days left for Valentine's Day, so maybe there will be a special week with five stories about Valentine's Day, keep an eye on my profile for more information.
I'm happy to make you feel something :)
Put your guns down!
I have to admit that I'm surprised that many of you believed that Maya was expecting Josh's baby, something impossible since they never crossed that line and that's why he wanted that night to be special. The only guy like Maya crossed that line was with Lucas, this is the sad reality.
In this chapter we will know if Lucas believes Maya or not, that is the problem when we lose the trust in someone.
If you don't want to read this chapter, skip it and read what I wrote down below and maybe you will want or not keep on reading this story but thank you anyway for stopping by!
It's yours.
Maya's baby was his, not Josh's. Her words hit him making him feeling lost and confused.
"Sorry?" He said without understanding what she meant "You are saying that I am your baby's dad?" Maya nodded, his reaction was to smile, a hurt snicker and Lucas could see that it had torn her apart "How can you say that?"
"I can say this because I know."
She said looking at the floor.
"How? How could you know that?"
How could she be so sure of this? Yes, they'd had sex after that night who he'd decided he wanted her back, but that did not mean he'd gotten her pregnant because he knew she and Josh had had sex too.
"I know because Josh and I had never gone that far."
She looked at him and Lucas found himself shaking his head negatively. How could he believe her after all, after everything she'd done? After her lies? Maya knew that he can't, she knew he could not believe anything she says because he had lost his trust in her.
"Maya, I'm sorry, but I can't believe you!"
She looked at the floor and whispered:
"I understand it!"
They were in silent for a moment.
"You want to know why I do not believe, Maya?" Lucas got up out of bed going toward her, his voice showing her how hurt he was "Because I saw you come home late; because I saw that hickey on your shoulder, Maya. How do you want me to believe you?" Lucas laughed hurt" I can't! You know, I wondered what was I doing wrong to deserve this from you? Really Maya! What did I do so wrong? Why did you do this to me? I swear I want to understand. I want to know why Maya, tell me! I believe I deserved it from you. I at least deserve an explanation."
He said in his hoarse voice as new tears tried to stream down his face, but he would not allow them to fall down.
"Forgive me, Lucas?" Said Maya starting to cry "You have every right not to trust me anymore..."
"Tell me, Maya!" Lucas cut her off "Tell me the truth, I deserve it."
"You know, things haven't been the same since you started doing all those extra at work. We drifted apart, you were always tired, you did not want me anymore, we did not even see each other more, we did not have a real conversation for months. We got to the point where I wondered if we were really together or were we just two people sharing an apartment and a bed."
"You want to know... Do you want to know why I started doing all those extra at work?"
He said interrupting her and Maya remained in silent, Lucas turned to the closet opening its door and taking a box that Maya kept in the corner. She named it A box of useless things and there she puts everything that was no longer useful or stuff that needed to be thrown away, Lucas had told her to get rid of those stuff for months, but he knew she wasn't going to do that and would end up leaving it for him to do. Maya always ignored that box so this was a safe place to keep anything he did not want her to see, it even was the official place where he kept all her gifts in the last few years. He shuffled through pieces of torn clothing and socks without matching pairs until he found what he wanted. The delicate black velvet box that popped between the clothes and caught Maya's attention, Lucas reached out to take the delicate object out of that messy and lead it to Maya's hand. Maya took the box in her hands, opening it and seeing the two delicate golden rings.
"I worked those extra shifts because I wanted to give you this; because I wanted to save the money necessary for it. I was going to give it to you; I was going to propose to you on our five-year anniversary, the one you forgot to be with him."
He could hear the hurt in his own words. Lucas had made his mind, it was time for them to officialize their situation five months after their four-year anniversary together, he wanted a family and had already met the woman he wanted to be the mother of his kids when they were still in middle school and all these years together as a couple and as friends made him to know her; to know her truly her; to know her faults and her qualities without masks. Lucas had started saving money ever since then, claiming to Maya that things had gotten more expensive and that they needed to keep some money in reserve just in case something happened and she had never suspected of it because that was something he would do. This would be a surprise and he had counted on Shawn's help to choose the rings when he had asked Maya to help him choose one because her mom's wedding rings apparently had not been made of quality material. That would be a surprise, but in the end, he was the one who had been surprised. Lucas saw her tears increase while she saw the delicate rings and takes in his words.
"Lucas, I..."
He cut her off.
"Was it worth it? ... Was it worth it, Maya? Was it worth to destroy us? Fool me? Cheat on me with him?"
He saw that anger within him take care of himself.
"Would you forgive me, Lucas?"
She said between her weeping.
"Forgive you? Do you really believe I can forgive you after all this, Maya?"
"Can you forgive me, Lucas? I was such a fool, a weak! I'm sorry..."
He laughed and shook his head negatively.
"I loved you and you ruined everything!" He saw her cry hysterically "You threw everything away to sleep with him!"
"I never slept with him, I could never do that!"
Maya said between his words.
"You slept with the guy who ignored you for almost half part of your life and who is now seeing someone else like you did to me. Did you know that? Did you know he's with someone else?
Lucas watches her waiting for her reaction, even if saying this to her was not his right, that angry part inside of him wanted her to suffer as much as she had made him suffer.
"I do not see or talk to Josh for days, Lucas. Since the day I quit with him in that night."
He was surprised, he did not have the reaction he was expecting from her, Maya didn't seem hurt by his words after learned that Josh was with someone else. But he was also surprised that she had said that they were no longer together something he had hoped would happen as soon as he left that apartment.
"What night?"
"I'm so sorry, Lucas! I was so anxious; I was so focused on quit whatever he and I had that I could not pay attention to anything else. I woke up that morning, determined to not go any further with it because I knew what I want, and I think that I had known that for a long time ago. I did not want to do that anymore, I didn't want to cheat on you and I was so focused on it that I ended up forgetting our anniversary. Yes, I had gone to his apartment that night, but I was there to broke up with him, but Josh would not let me talk, then he asked me to help him pick out an outfit for an interview he would have the other day and the only thing in my head was that I had to do that as soon as possible. But when I walked into his room I found it full of candles and rose petals, Josh had done all that because he wanted our first time to be special. Josh told me many special things about us and then he kissed me, he took me to his bed, but nothing happened because I did not want him to touch me. Do you know why?"
Lucas looked at the bathroom door taking a deep breath at the thought of Josh touching her on that bed, in that room carefully prepared by Josh to be as romantic as possible.
"Lucas?" He looked at her, Maya moistened her lips and approached him. "I could not let him touch me, I did not let him and I would never let him go that far because he is not you."
He found himself automatically shaking his head negatively.
"I'm not lying! We kissed and that was pretty much everything we did, Lucas."
"Maya, I saw that hickey!"
"That was just a damn hickey, Lucas! I never allowed him to go any farther than kisses."
Through the altered tone of her voice, Lucas felt that Maya was telling the truth, even though there was that voice inside of him telling Lucas that she was lying to him, something she had got very good at.
"Are you telling me you never wanted to have sex with him?"
"I won't lie, Lucas. I did. I wanted at some point, but I could never go so far because you were always in my head. I could never do this to us."
They stared at each other in silence.
"You love him."
Thanks for reading it into here!
Let's talk:
Are you really thinking that I am going to play the card 'Maya and Lucas are going to have a baby so they will get together only because of the baby'? If you think so, you are wrong! This is one of the worst reasons to marry someone and it is so depressing that I don't wish it for anyone.
Hearing someone say that only had married or will marry someone because the girl got pregnant is one of the worst things I've heard and it's so sad to play this card to be with someone. I believe that in these cases people have to think about what they are going to do because a marriage is something serious, something to be taken seriously, not an easy way out.
Do you think any of them will want to get back because 'ops we're going to have a baby'? Both will have responsibilities for the arrival of their baby and they will want the best for each other, but what will happen to them you won't know right now.
Maya has to tell us some things she has not said yet and they will then try to make a decision.
I wonder how many chapters until Josh's part comes out because I'm afraid that I'll miss this chapter and I love it, i love that he is so in love.
I'm waiting for your Reviews and questions.
bye!
